There was a hot rod video, hot Rod Magazine video made of a Dyno of a mystery motor and I believe the figure was something like a little over 400 hp .... now it’s been along time since I’ve seen the video I believe the RPMs were very guarded obviously as a result of the rarity of the motor ........... I was very surprised when I saw the video ......... I would think that that figure would be extremely light according to interviews done with Junior Johnson And the fact that the cars ran nearly 180 miles an hour in 1963....... what do you estimate horse power and foot pounds of torque to be
I got Ken Lingenfelter to repair the heads, I knew him from a previous car thing.
He told me about his shop in the Indy area.
They located a guy that had previous experience with rare cast iron heads.
It took longer than we wanted, but hopefully they are fixed now
I would like to know what process they used to fix them.

Thank you for your answer
The Z11 is quite a bit lighter in the front end with the aluminum parts.
And don't forget the auluminum door hinges Pat put on also as originals are heavy.
I assume they are aluminum Phil?
No, but i'll bet Phils pacemaker probably is! LolI assume they are aluminum Phil?
